Directions
Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, These are the main reason I go to the fair. I had to learn how to make them so I didnt have to wait for only once a year, This is a yummy sandwich but it is NOT a Philly Cheesesteak. The two choices of cheese is almost correct. Even in South Philly, there are two camps. One is Cheez-Whizz, the other is white American not provolone. Also, use a hoagie roll, never a Kaiser. Fried onions are fine but never peppers. And never, ever, condiments. No ketchup, no mustard, no lettuce, no pepperoncini. The only option is marinara sauce. The recipe posted here is for an Italian Cheesesteak, which you can also find in South Philly but it is a different sandwich. It will have peppers and provolone and may come on a round roll but it will also have marinara., When I worked in a diner in northern NJ we did cheesesteaks this way but only ever used provalone and as one other review stated, a long hoagie roll that was cut in half and toasted. And you could get them plain no veg or loaded peppers, onions, mushrooms. Ideally, you cook your meat, add your veg if wanted, put in the shape of the roll, add provalone on top and then the roll. Let it sit for a few minutes then put a spatula under the meat mixture, one hand on the bun and flip. Perfect every time. Our cook was from Philly and he never used processed cheese sauce.
